Chapter 20

After a while of trying, Felicity finally got Isabella 1 to snap out of it. "S-sorry, Feliss."

"Sorry I never told all of you I was not thinking straight and I'm sorry about your brother" Felicity said

"I'm not mad at you, Feliss. I probably would have done the same if I was in your position." She said honestly. "I just can't believe my brother had done that. That he's working with Rodney."

"I know, but it's true."

Isabella 1 subconsciously ran her fingers through her hair. "I just don't know what to think right now."

"I don't either. Everything is just so messed up now." Felicity said with a sigh.

"All we can really do for now is wait and see what Adam, does now." Mr. Daniels said.

"It doesn't look very promising." Felicity said remembering Adam's reaction.

"How bad could it be?" Mr. Daniels asked.

"I don't know, I've never seen him so mad, not even with Phineas." Felicity admitted.

"That bad huh?" Isabella 1 asked.

"Yeah, and I don't blame him for it. Pretty much anyone would have if put in his position." Felicity said.


The days passed in a very tense mood through the manor. James had returned from his search for Adam with nothing to show for it. It had been a week and a half and still no one had seen or heard from Adam. This naturally made Isabella very worried and Felicity too though many people would not know not many of them were speaking to her at the moment.

There was a knock on the manor door that morning and Mr. Daniels opened it to find a five year old boy standing there in blue jeans and a red shirt. "Excuse me sir, is this Daniels Manor?"

"Yes, what can I do for you?" Mr. Daniels said though he was confused as to who this little boy is.

"The nice guy that saved me and friends said that I was to give this to anyone here and tell them it's from Adam." The boy said holding up a DVD.

Mr. Daniels' eyes widened at the mention of Adam's name as he took the DVD, whether it was something good or bad, it was still something. "Thank you, you have no idea what this means here."

"No problem, it was the least I could do after what he did for me and my friends." The boy said smiling.

"If you don't mind me asking, what was it that he did for you guys?" Mr. Daniels asked.

"He saved our lives from a guy with a large head and he got us new clothes, and he returned us to our families. I lived here in Danville anyway so he told me to give this to anyone here when I got the chance." The boy said with a tone of evident hero worship.

Mr. Daniels smiled at this, "Well, you should probably get back to your family then."

"Yeah, I should. Goodbye Mr!" The boy said running down the drive and turning right at the gate.

"Goodbye!" Mr. Danial's called after him before heading back inside and over to the observation room. Having not watch it first. He set it up so it played in all the rooms that currently has someone in it.

All around the mansion televisions flicked into life as well as computer screens.


"What is going on?" Isabella asked Connor when the TV in one of the living rooms came to life She however immediately fell silent when she saw what came up.

It was horrible their was a dark room with about twenty kids in it all starving and all clearly beaten recently. Then there were men with long needles filled with a bright green substance that Felicity recognized.

"Another fatality due to the wrong mixture. Try again." A man said tossing a dead boy like a rag doll across the room and dragging another boy that Mr. Daniels recognized as the on that delivered the DVD towards him, but just as he held up the needle the door was kicked in and there stood Adam. But he did not look like Adam his hair was shorter and spiked so his white strips stood at the top. and his clothes were all black.

"I tried knocking no one answered." Adam said in a cold tone.

The man knocked down the boy turning to Adam and glaring as more men came in ready to fight. "What can you do Garcia-Shapiro? Your not like us you have a conscience and a sense of mercy and trust." The lead man said.

Adam laughed not chuckled down right laughed out loud it sounded a bit insane.

"Trust, Mercy I had those once, but the funny thing I've kind of given up those principals they never seemed to get me anything other than hurt. So, I give you a chance let the kids go or die and I'll let them go myself." Adam said.

"Get him!" The lead man order and the rest of the complied.

"I gave fair warning." Adam said before blurring out of sight. There was horrified yells as one by one the men dropped to the ground dead or dying. Then Adam was back ignoring the dead people on the floor he made his way over to the boy still on the ground shaking.

"Hey, it's alright you're going to be okay." Adam said picking the boy up gently. "Where did they hurt you?" He asked kindly.

The young boy rambled off each of the places pointing to them covering nearly his whole body. "Are you some kind of superhero?" He asked once he was done.

"No, not really. I'm just a guy." Adam said gently as he let all the kids out.

"Now, do any of you know where a security camera is?" Adam asked

Almost all of the kids pointed in different directions having found at least one at some point. There were a LOT. Adam turned to the one they had been watching from.

"A message to Rodney and to Firestorm, because I know you'll all see this. Stay out of my way and don't try to stop you'll see me again. Rodney after this I'm going to your business in Hawaii, St Louise, San Antonio, Miami, and Seattle and there's not a thing you can do to stop me.

"Oh and I'm gonna blow this building up in fifteen minutes so see you all soon." Adam said waving to the camera before picking the boy up and leading the kids away as the video cut out.


Isabella quickly jotted down the places he said he was going next. He said he couldn't be stopped but that wasn't her plan, anyways.

"Did you just see that?" James asked bursting in.

"With my own two eyes," Isabella said looking back at him. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"We find him?" James asked

"Of course," Isabella answered. "he told us where he's going. I have the destinations right here." She held up her list.

"Who else is going?" He asked

"It should probably just be the two of us. He said he doesn't trust anyone anymore but we're the only ones who at least stand a chance." She explained before looking apologetically at he boyfriend.

"It's okay I understand. Go get him." Connor said hugging her

"We'll try our best." Isabella promised hugging back.

"Where to first?" James asked after they had gathered some equipment.

"He said Hawaii first but he's probably already done there are close to it by the looks of it so I'd say St. Louis."

"St Louis here we come we'll teleport directly to the Firestorm base there it's been empty for months." James said pulling out the teleporter and typing in the coordinates.


However when they got there instead of a dark building the lights were on and machines were running. Isabella looked around jumping to a hopeful conclusion.

"Intruders please identify yourselves." Said a computerized voice

Since there wasn't anything for another kind of identification, Isabella simply said "Isabella Garcia-Shapiro. 1st Dimension."

"James Johnson. 1st Dimension." James said as well.

"Identities confirmed, please state your business."

"We're trying to find my brother, Adam Garcia-Shapiro." Isabella answered hoping that was an acceptable answer.

"Adam Garcia Shapiro can be found on the top floor living room." The computer said

Isabella grabbed James' wrist and blurred the two of them up to where the computer said.

They entered the room and sure enough found Adam leaning over a table still dressed in all black and working on something they could not see. "Didn't I tell you all to stay out of my way?" Adam asked not looking up.

"We're not here to try and stop you, Adam." Isabella said cautiously.

"That's good, because you couldn't." Adam said still not looking up.

"Could you at least look at me while I'm talking to you?" Isabella asked. "You're the only family I have."

Adam set his tools down and turned to look at them. "So, what do you two want?" Adam asked

"We want to help. You shouldn't do things alone." James said.

"I don't know it seems to have worked out just fine for me lately." Adam said

"It's not the physical threat we're worried about." James said.

"You think I'm going crazy?" Adam asked.

James shook his head, that was definitely not the right word. "We're worried about your emotional state, and how you've literally been isolating yourself from everyone."

"It seems to be working out for me encase you have not noticed." Adam said

"What about us?" Isabella asked seriously. "Ever think about that? Like I said, you're the only family I have."

"I...I don't know alright!?" Adam said hesitantly

Isabella flinch back slightly, "Look I'm not asking for you to forgive Felicity, James hasn't, I sure as hell can't, the only ones in the manor who have made any progress on that are her father and… for some reason my counterpart. I just need to be able to feel like you're there for me just like you were before this happened."

Adam stood in silence obviously thinking it over. It was a good ten minutes before he spoke again.

"Alright, for you I'll come back just let me finish up what I was doing alright?" Adam asked.

Isabella nodded with a smile and bright yellow eyes. "Thank you. Now, go kill some bastards, save some children, and I'll see you real soon."

"Oh so I assume Kyle got the disc to you safe and sound did he?" Adam asked turning back to the device he was working on.

"Well, a video that was obviously from you suddenly started playing on the the TV so I guess that where it came from." Isabella said it now making a lot more sense.

"Good, I'm glad. Kyle's a good kid." Adam said taking off his work goggles.

"Ah it's done." Adam said with a triumphant tone.

"What is it?" Isabella asked curiously.

Adam held up what looks like an ordinary screwdriver. "This can do pretty much anything you need it to do except tell you the time and date. There was just no space for a clock."

"Wow!" Isabella said impressed. "That's amazing!"

"Yeah that's why I only made ten these are bad in the wrong hands. This is actually the first one in black and it's mine." Adam said pulling out a case and showing them nine more.

"I made them in red, blue, green, purple, pink, white, silver, gold, and grey." Adam said

"Are the colors the only difference?" She asked assuming the answer was no.

"Pretty much yes and each is genetically locked to whoever becomes the owner as well as communications with the other owners. Then of course there's the specialty function it adds a device based on the individual owner."

"What ever happened to not trusting anyone anymore?" Isabella asked. "Who would the other owners be?"

"Well, I was going to send them to you guys actually. The pink one is yours Isa and the green one is James' the other seven I'm not sure of." Adam said

"The purple one almost seems like a force of habit." She mumbled to herself then realized she said it outloud.

"Well, I suppose it might be.." Adam said his voice becoming slightly cold again

Isabella glared down at the purple one her eyes turning red. "Are they indestructible?"

"It's me Isabella so yeah pretty much." Adam muttered.

"We could find a way." Isabella said. "We're good at destroying things."

"That's true, but this was a lot of hard work so I kind of don't want too."

"Then what are we gonna do with it?" She asked since Felicity's obviously included in 'in the wrong hands'

"Keep it locked up. That's what we can do." Adam said simply stating facts.

"Adam, do you still care about Felicity?" James asked suddenly picking up his own screwdriver

Adam gripped his own nearly discovering it's limit as his ninja star eyes spun but after a short while, he surprisingly sat in down with a sigh. "You can never just stop caring about someone. No matter what they did."

"You still care about her after what she admitted too?" Isabella asked sitting down beside him.

Her eyes widened as Adam removed a glove from his left hand revealing the wedding ring still on his finger.

"At first I tried to convince myself that I was just worried about our son or daughter but the more time went by, the more excusable it became. The table really is something you'd have to experience yourself to understand fully. Being stuck on there for years with no memories at all on top of it. You'd pretty much agree to everything if you thought it would make it stop. So no matter what I want to tell myself, I just can't bring myself to hate her." He explained.

"Maybe, just maybe she does deserve a second chance I mean I did practically the same thing to Katie and Adam and you all gave me a second chance. I just think she at least deserves the same." James said.

"Of course, she does. There are few people in this world that don't." Adam admitted what he barely admitted to himself then turned to his sister even though he had a pretty good idea of what her thoughts on it are.

"Well, I'm not sure honestly I mean it's a pretty big chance to take what if she sells you out again?" Isabella asked.

Adam picked up his sonic screwdriver. "There's lie detectors in these."

"So you can ask her all those questions again and see if those really are her feelings..." Isabella trailed off as she realized it. Then a thought accord to her. "What day is it?"She asked

"I have no idea." Adam said simply having always sucked at that.

"It's the twenty..second I think?" James said.

'Ok, then I still have one more day.' Isabella thought. "Thanks James."

"Why?" Adam asked.

"I kind of have a raid on one of Rodney's bases planned for tomorrow. I wanted to make sure it wasn't today."

"That's good because you two are going to help me." Adam said.

"That's what we were hoping." Isabella said grabbing her own screwdriver. "That's why we hadn't left."

"Just so you know this will be very dangerous."

"We know that." Isabella said simply.

"Well, alright then, the hover car's on the roof, lets go." Adam said

With that, they headed up to the roof. "Good thing we didn't get here later then we did."

"Yes it is, but I'm driving!" Adam said

"Fair enough." Isabella agreed as they go to the hover car.

They flew for only ten minutes before Adam landed the car on the roof. "Okay you two want the front door or the roof door?" Adam asked pointing to the door they were near.

"We'll take the front door." James answered.

"Suit yourselves I'll meet you in the middle then. Remember check every room in every floor and set any people there free got it?" Adam asked pointing his sonic screwdriver at the lock and pushing the button there was a small whirring sound and the lock clicked open.

Isabella and James both somehow headed down to the front door and used the screwdriver to get in.

Adam was running through hallway sat then end of his third one he had a small group of people fallowing him he opened the last door and nearly dropped his screwdriver in shock. "M...mom?" He stammered out in shock as he starred at the dark skinned women with jet black hair bound to the wall.

Though bound, Vivian looked up with her head also very surprised. "Adam?"

The floor below, Isabella looked up at having heard Adam. "No way." She mumbled then blurred up to the room without even thinking having left James to finish the last few.

When she got there Adam was running his screwdriver over Vivian. He then flicked his wrist and the end of the screwdriver looked like a claw the light on the handle turned green.

"Oh my goodness, it's really you and not this dimension's you." Adam said pointing his screwdriver at the chains that had her locked to the wall which instantly clicked and released her

Isabella just stood there speechless as Vivian rubbed her wrist where the chains were. "Y-yeah, it's me… but…" there was so many ways to end that sentence as she looked between her two children… none of it made ANY sense.

"It's been an interesting few years." Adam said hugging his mother.

"It looks like it." Vivian said hugging him back. "What are you two doing here? Don't you know it's dangerous?"

"We know, but we were going to destroy this place anyway and when I tell you what all has been going on since you last saw us you'll realize this is pretty much nothing." Adam said stepping away so Isabella could hug their mother.

"O…k…" As Isabella hugged her, Vivian looked at both of her children eyes, Isabella's of which were currently yellow. "What happened to you guys' eyes?"

"That's part of the story." Adam said.

Vivian shrugged it off. "Ok. What do we do now?"

"We get out of here before this place blows up." Adam said.

"It's already set to explode?" Vivian asked in surprise.

"No, well, yeah, but not for another forty five minutes." Adam said

"So, show the way out then." Vivian said not knowing that James is there.

"Sure, Isa got get James and lead the people to the hover car." Adam said starting to push people towards the staircase.

Isabella blurred back to James.

"Hey James, guess what?" She asked when she appeared

"Um… you found someone you thought was dead but they're alive." James guessed jokingly not realizing he was right just vague.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Isabella asked

James' eyes widened in surprise. "I was kidding…who's alive?"

"Mom!" Isabella said happily.

"That's fantastic Isabella!" James said excitedly. "Now, let's get these guys out of here." He said motioning to the people behind him.

"Yeah right, lets go, follow me!" Isabella said. They headed off meeting Adam and Vivian on the roof.

"James you're here too?" Vivian asked.

"Yeah," James answered. "We'll explain everything later."

"Alright, everybody in. When we get back to base there is plenty of clothes and food for all of you." Adam said.

They all got into the hover car. They couldn't believe this was happening but of course they went along with it. They're not stupid.

They flew away and landed a few minutes later at the base.

"Come on, mom. Isabella will help you get some clothes and I'll make you some food." Adam said.

Once everything was all situated and they actually had the time, Adam and Isabella told their mother everything, but if you've been following us the whole time, you know they had to start earlier than when they thought she died. She still needed to know how they got involved in Firestorm and the O.W.C.A. respectively because she had her memory erased. So they had to explain from the dance all the way up to the present. Needless to say, they were there for a while.

"Then Felicity revealed she was a traitor of sorts and I ran away. There now you're up to speed." Adam said almost four hours later.

For a while, Vivian just stared at her two children in shock before simply saying, "Well, that makes me feel like a terrible mother."

"What? You're a great mother!" Isabella said with Adam nodding as well

Vivian shook her head in disagreement. "Before the incident with the house I should have noticed that something was off, at least."

"Mom, we were taught by professionals to make sure you did not notice something was off." Adam said

Vivian sighed, "I guess you're right. You two really have been through a lot though, huh?"

"Yeah, but it's almost over." Adam said

"What's going to happen with your wife?" She asked though it felt REALLY weird coming from her mouth. She'd get to that later since this is WAY too much to take in at one time.

"Honestly, I am not sure what to do. I could really use some advice." Adam sighed.

"Well, it's hard for me to say for sure having never met her but it sounds like she could use a second chance, just like the other traders got, just keep a real close eye on her to be on the safe side." Vivian suggested.

"Okay, I'll talk to her when we get back. Now do you want to take the teleporters or the hover car?" Adam asked deciding that right now was not a good time to ask her what had happened to her.

"Hover car." Vivian answered seeing where this is going.

"Alright who wants to drive?" Adam asked. Isabella's hand immediately shot up. "Alright Isa you drive I'm beat anyway I haven't slept in days." Adam said.

Isabella took the keys to the hover car with a sigh. That was predictable but not good. "Adam, what has pretty much everyone told you about that?"

"Too not too?" Adam asked.

"Exactly." Isabella said as they headed back up to the roof.

"Sorry, I had a lot on my mind." Adam said yawning.

"Well, I guess that's understandable." Isabella said as they got in the hover car.

"Yeah, sorry I know I should have slept." Adam said looking down at the floor in guilt.

"Just, try and sleep on the way back, ok?" Isabella asked starting up the hover car.

She got no response to that. She looked back and saw Adam already sound asleep in one of the back bench seats. Isabella smiled back at this before facing forward and taking off.
